Holy crap!

At around 11:30 this morning (Central time, where I am) - Team Madward hit $72 in pledges, with 12 team members.

When I was filling out the form to be put in the FGB directory and on the Teams compilation page-thing that had been set up, I asked Tara what she thought a good goal would be for the team - and we agreed on $50.

Needless to say, we've met and exceeded that goal. We were at $49 last night when I went to bed, too, which would have still made me very happy, but $72?

Holy-freaking...

I'd like to thank everyone who has joined Team Madward, and if anyone else still wants to be a part of this - I'll give you until 10:30 PM Central Time to get the form filled out.

ETA (5:09 PM CDT): The 10:30 PM deadline is to be included in the final auction bid - if you don't make this deadline and want to donate, either e-mail me at nlfrederick@gmail.com or Tweet me at @nlfrederick to find out if it's still possible. If you go the twitter route, be sure you're not all locked up because I won't get it if you're not (assuming we don't already follow each other).

Update!

The state of Team Madward is thus:

• 5 team members
• $31 total pledged

And we still have 5 days and 3 hours until the end of the auction, so recruit your friends to Team Madward!
